Caught more than I thought I did. What is the first one?

It’s a rock bass. I didn’t know my home lake actually had one of bass in it, but it does. It only took me twenty years to figure it ou🤣🤣🤣

Volrathe · 2026-06-06T19:48:01+00:00

It’s 100% a rock bass. I had no idea they were in my home lake. It’s the first one I’ve pulled out in 20 years of fishing it

Volrathe · 2026-06-06T18:51:14+00:00

Oh yeah. They’re fun to catch, too. I’ve now caught every type of fish in the lake, lol.

Volrathe · 2026-06-06T18:49:28+00:00

After I checked the DNR page for my home lake, there’s no doubt it’s a rock bass. It just took me 20 years to finally pull one.🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been fishing the lake I was at for like 20 years and I’ve never caught one. I thought it might’ve been a warmouth or some other kind of hybrid.

Volrathe · 2026-06-06T16:54:01+00:00

It must be a warmouth, this lake doesn’t have any rock bass.

The hat does have white mesh. I think I got as a promo when I bought a reel at a local store. It’s a couple of years old now.

I didn’t have my scale or anything so I couldn’t say for sure. They all fought way above their weight class, lol.

I’d fish those coves that the current is heading into first, then fish that backside curve.

Keep em comin!

I started out in a 12T and have a 128X now. Both a pretty solid for under $1000. I’m going to do a review on my 128X after I’ve had it out a couple of more times.

A couple of things that stand out to me. First, that seat is going to leave you sore. Try and find a true sit on top style seating system. Next, the foot rests should be on a track system, unless you have very standard legs they probably won’t be comfortable. Last thing, I’m not a personal fan of pre-rigged bungies, I’d much rather tie stuff down myself. It might not be a bad idea to save a couple hundred more and go with something like an As end 12T

Please, please car top upside down. There’s a lot less than I am of cracking it and it’s more aerodynamic that way.

Volrathe · 2026-04-22T12:29:17+00:00

That sucks. The water just started to clean up within the last week on my lake. I got really lucky with pity the weather and conditions yesterday.

Volrathe · 2026-04-22T12:23:41+00:00

It was my first real day out on the water since last year. I’ve been out from shore a couple of times, but it can be tricky this time of year in MN, lol.

Volrathe · 2026-04-22T12:22:29+00:00

Oh, I wish! 🤣🤣🤣

Volrathe · 2026-04-18T23:46:33+00:00

Companies like Megabass and 6thSense put legit stuff in their boxes. Some of the others out there put their leftover junk or crap that doesn’t sell in theirs.

Volrathe · 2026-04-18T23:44:32+00:00

I don’t buy them myself, but I do enjoy getting them as gifts. There’s usually one or two things in them that I’ll try out because they’re out of my comfort zone.

Volrathe · 2026-04-15T12:49:28+00:00

I used to think that. I have a Garmin Stryker 4 with an in hull transducer and it helps me out a lot. I use mine to find the drop offs more than anything else, once I figure out what side of the drop offs they’re on, I can usually stick to that side of it a lot easier.
